I have a chainmail dress I made for a party once. I don't get much opportunity to wear it, but it's great.

Edit: behold, my silly outfit.
- Parry this you filthly casual!
  
  Cool dress
- That must have taken ages to make! Well done!
  
  Many (40ish, I'd estimate) hours and I deeply regretted the endeavour at many points, especially when rushing to get it finished in time, but once I got the hang of the process, a lot of it was quite zen. It was almost like knitting, it gave me something to do with my hands.
- Ok this should be a fashion thing this is dope af
  
  If everyone started doing it, things would have to change at airports! I'm just not sure they would change for the better...
- A woman of class.
  
  But that is butted, not riveted chainmail so it's unfortunately not fit for combat. Looks cool tho
  
  class
  
  Paladin, specifically
- Hot damn. Nice chainmail
  
  Hot and damn is right...
- That's cool as fuck!
- Do you find it pinches your skin? I've always wanted to make one for Ren faires.
  
  It could, though, when worn properly, chainmail was always worn over padding. The chain mail blocks piercing attacks, while the padding dealt with concussive forces. An arrow, or sword, has significant amounts of both. Blocking 1 alone wasn't enough.
  
  Basically, it shouldn't be an issue, other than getting hot in the padding. If you're going for a stylish look, use flexible material. Loose weave metallic fabrics give a similar (superficial) look, but don't pinch.
  
  Sometimes, especially because I made chainmail, rather than the much higher quality (and more authentic?) (images not mine, randomly from Google images). I don't particularly remember pinching being a problem though, especially given I was wearing just my underwear beneath it most times.
- I think there's more to this hobbit than meets the eye.
- Deus Vult
- That looks amazing.
- I for one welcome you to Raider Nation. Please show up to Allegiant stadium for all the home games in this. You'll fit right in. (Moreso if you had a time machine to when we played in Oakland in front of actual fans, but I digress)
The answer for any crusade is "an embarrassing yet hilarious disaster or a heartbreaking tragedy, depending on which side you're on." which side each applies to varies by crusade.
- First one was an accidental and baffling success. Others, not so much.
- I think the first one is an escapade.
I'm gonna be honest, I assumed from the title that Chainmail-chic was a Linux package
- chainmail-chic: this package installs the chainmail package with the chic addon, making it work with a GUI for all your hard drive security needs
  
  And I thought it would be a chic way to send chain mail
- Have you checked the AUR?
Oh my, deus would vult for her to wear that more often, looks cool af.

And if too uncomfy, it's ez to dye it black for that goth midnight knight badassery.
Well, it was fun the first time
you can never be too prepared for taking back the holy land ✝️🔪
- Or protecting it from christian heathens
  
  I love how they refer the Christians as barbarians in Shōgun
  
  Im just getting paid to protect the Emperor here in Miklagard.
I mean most uses of the word tunic involve the past
